Charlamagne dismisses Trump sentencing as 'pure political theater:' 'Not a win'

On Friday, Trump was sentenced by New York Judge Juan Merchan to unconditional discharge after being found guilty on charges of falsifying business records stemming from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's years-long investigation.

The sentencing officially makes Trump the first U.S. President to be a convicted felon. However, the unconditional discharge sentencing means he will face no fines or jail time. The sentence also preserves Trump's ability to appeal the conviction. 

"The Breakfast Club" hosts reacted to the news on Monday's show, with co-host Charlamagne dismissing Trump's sentencing as meaningless.

"Breakfast Club" co-host DJ Envy wondered if the trial was worth the cost to New York taxpayers. 

"In the New York case, they said it cost $50,000 a day," Envy remarked later in the segment, discussing the safety precautions that had to be taken to protect the former president. "It probably cost around $2 million dollars [in total]."

"What's the point?" Charlamagne asked about prosecutors who brought criminal charges against Trump in New York and Georgia.

"Somebody needs to ask them, the Fani Willis's of the world, like, 'What's the point? What are you trying to prove right now?'" he asked.

Before Judge Merchan announced the sentence at the Friday hearing, Trump called the case "a political witch hunt," that's "been a tremendous setback for New York and the New York court system."

Earlier this year, the high court ruled that presidents are immune from prosecution related to official presidential acts.
